Parking brake S Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph) when the differentials are locked. To unlock the differentials, turn the switch fully counterclockwise. Unlock the differentials as soon as the vehicle moves out. For easy unlocking, slightly turn the steering wheel in either direction while the vehicle is in motion. When each of the differential locks is disengaged, the indicator light will go out. The differentials will also unlock if you unlock the center differential. Never forget to turn off the switch after using this feature. To check the indicator bulb, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine. The indicator light will blink when the switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds for the system to complete operation. After the differential is locked, the light will stop blinking and remain on. To set: Pull up the lever. To release: Pull up slightly, press the thumb button, and lower. Before leaving your vehicle, firmly apply the parking brake. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake. ! CAUTION S Do not lock the differentials until the wheels have stopped spinning. Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the differential locks are engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to possible damage to differential lock component parts. ! CAUTION Do not keep driving with the differential lock switch on. ! CAUTION Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. 63
